How is the amount of fat removed in liposuction calculated?

February 20, 2016
Asked By:ClassicCurves in Arizona, AZ

Is it only the fat removed or does it include the injected fluid? For example, if 5 liters was removed, is that all fat or is part of that the added fluid? Do doctors calculate this differently? I’ve never really understood this part. Thanks so much!
